The no refusal program which was implemented a few months ago for areas surrounding Houston is gearing up for Super Bowl weekend. All in all, the program has led to record numbers of arrests for those suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and driving.
The program enables officers to obtain a warrant for drawing blood from those drivers who refuse a breathalyzer test. News reports indicate that over 13,000 drivers in Harris County were charged with DWI last year. It is no surprise that Houston leads the nation in fatal drunk driver accidents and Texas leads the nation in the same category.
Designated driver, call a cab or stay put but please do not drink and drive.
